Abstract

This study explores the phenomena of teacher empowerment by describing intrinsic motivation associated with the tasks of working with colleagues and principals for two groups of teachers - those with a high and those with a low sense of self-empowerment. Data were collected via interviews that focused on goals and meanings teachers assigned to the tasks, their perceived competence in completing the tasks, and their self-determination in selecting behaviours to accomplish desired outcomes.
